Sports Gossip? (ill logik)

For those who don’t know, I am a sports junkie. Let me rephrase that. I love sports. You are likely asking yourself why would he down grade like that and not just come out and say it that way. Well here is the thing, I am indeed a huge sports fan. Sports is what I watch on tv 95% of the time… I don’t like movies, I don’t like sitcoms or any of these continuation epic shows like Lost or Heros or that stuff.

I prefer sports, but I am not one of those people that knows every single starting lineup, where they went to school and what their stats are. I love my teams and follow my teams but that’s about it (still don’t know their numbers and stuff).

Any way, so this past weekend I have had my second favorite form of entertainment (music is still number 1), turned into US Weekly from this whole, ARod getting divorced from his wife who is with Lenny Kravitz in Paris, while he stays home with Madonna… stupid. Its lame to me that people who read People Magazine know who Tom Brady, Lance Armstrong, Derek Jeter and Tony Parker are based on who they date/marry. It’s lame. The ARod story even got the back page on the newspaper the day the Yankees were hosting the 4th and final game of a series against the Red Sox. Here in town nonetheless.

Two very cool stories happened this weekend involving athletes that aren’t getting nearly enough love. First, former NFL player turned lame actor Brian Bosworth pulled a woman out of a wrecked car this weekend. Also a current NFL superstar, Tony Gonzalez apparently gave someone the Heimlich Maneuver.

I don’t judge anyone for reading US Weekly or People or whatever. The fact of the matter is though, we are sports fans because we love the game! We don’t care who dates who. We don’t care who cheats on who. If my favorite athlete cheats on his wife today, he is still my favorite athlete tomorrow. I love the game and the athletes, what they do in their private time is up to them.
